Fungi with Pores — Polyporaceae 



Lenzites separia 



Leathery shells, with the upper surface marked with rough 

 zones of various shades of brown: the under surface with brown, 

 radiating, papery gills. 



GENUS D/EDALEA 



The genus Dcedalea has the spore-bearing surface in the 

 form of winding and labyrinthine lamella:, so that instead of 

 pores there are irregular branching slits on the under surface. 

 These fungi are normally sessile, woody, and hard. 



Daedalea unicolor 



Dcedalea unicolor is in form like a full leather ruffle with 

 scalloped edge, so full that the scallops overlap. The branching 

 slits are very minute, and the upper side is in zones of tan colour, 

 with a plush-like surface. The zones are often tinged with blue 

 or green from algse which grow upon them. 



Daedalea confragosa 



Dcedalea confragosa has a rough grey upper surface, and 

 grows from the centre in the form of depressed sessile caps. 

 The texture is firm and leathery. 



Daedalea quercina 



Dcedalea quercina is a woody or corky species, rugged, and 

 without zones on the surface. At first it is porous ; then, by 

 the breaking down of the walls of the pores, slits are formed, 

 with blunt partitions. It is common on oak trees.
